Unable to invite people from within the chat. Always claims "Is it a valid email address?" Seems to work fine from the web app.

What email addresses were you trying to invite? Is it possible that your chat 
client was turning the email addresses into links or otherwise transforming 
them before sending them?

Turns out this is an issue with ichat.

When you type in an email address, iChat magically changes it to 
mailto:email@address to make it clickable for the user on the other end.  If I 
use a client that doesn't try to automake links it works fine.  I was thinking 
perhaps since iChat is such a heavily used client, PartyChat could be tweaked 
to catch that possibility and fix the email address before trying to add the 
person?

same problem - used Google Chat instead of iChat and it works. So; it is a 
problem with iChat.

Understood.  This issue can be closed.  We have moved to a system that works 
better with our primary xmpp client.
